The strength of metallic bonds depends on the
charge density of the atoms
ductility of the metal
number of valence electrons
total number of electrons in the atom
Объяснение
It is determined by the difference in the electron structures of the atoms. These primarily are: The number of outer electrons, i.e the number of valence shell electrons released during a metallic bond.
